I'm Clint Emerson and welcome to season two of can you survive this podcast, where the interview is just as dangerous as the scenarios I put my guests through.

From hostage situations to natural disasters, car jackings, active shooters, and more,

if you're looking for the skills necessary to survive these situations,

then this is the show for you.

Thank you for listening to another episode of Can You Survive this podcast, where the interviews are just as dangerous as the scenarios I put my victims through.

And today we got a really special guest.

I feel like I say that a lot, but it's mainly because these are a lot of my buddies, and they're all very special. This guy, in particular, though, was an assaulter. He was a

breacher. He was a sniper. He was a team leader. He was a troop chief. He worked with the military

working dogs. And as a senior enlisted advisor, he's done just about everything under the sun.

He is also Amtack Shooting's owner and lead instructor, and his name is none other than Wild Bill Rapier.

Hey, Bill. Thanks for coming the show, buddy.

Hey, Clint. Thanks for having me on. Great to be here.

Well, who would have thought Bill Rapier would be doing interviews on podcast, huh?

Yeah, who would have thought Clint would be hosting them?

Yeah, that's true.

Oh, I think weren't both of us, the kind of guys that sat around making fun of the guys that we've become kind of sort of? Absolutely. Yeah, a little bit, right? So here we are. Hypocrits in our own

solid, professional way. Okay. So where do I start with you? Geez, we've known each other

for a while. Let's see. We were at team three together.

We went through 18 Delta together, at least the first short course.

And then we're on the East Coast at the same time.

Our timelines didn't exactly match us up at any locations overseas, at least not that I'm aware of.

But we were on the same coast at the same time.
